Hi Is it true that the GPLPV drivers is incompatible with QCOW images? The Windows DomU works fine with raw standard "file:/" images, and paravirtualized Linux DomU works fine with QCOW and raw images. If i use QCOW images with my Windows DomU''s i get a stop error: 0x00000007b (inaccessible boot device). It looks like the blkback.3.hda process, that normally starts with

Hi, can anyone provide any pointers as to how to avoid this issue?

Hi, From cset 10921, ioemu: prefix is removed from disk config in /etc/xen/xmexample.hvm. Now HVM VBD driver is available, this thus raises a question: how would HVM domain know if one disk is a qemu-dm disk or a VBD disk? From current implementation, qemu-dm will recognize disk had, hdb, hdc, hdd, and VBD drive can recognize all disk (had~hdd, hde, hdf ...) . So the result is: qemu-dm will

Hi, One of my servers in a IDC in another country mysteriously went down this morning, and when I contacted the IDC, I was told that XEN doesn''t boot up, as follows: [QUOTE] This is error message on the screen " Error 19: Linux Kernel must be loaded before initrd" Server is currently up with 2nd kernel.

Hi Everyone, I''m trying to get Xen to use a native DRBD device but it seems it will not create the virtual machine. It does not seem to like the DRBD device type, any ideas on what might be wrong? I''m pretty sure my xen config file is OK and the DRBD device looks fine too. Full details below. xm create centostest Using config file "./centostest".

I had a try to insert vbd & vnif modules for ia32 smp hvm guest, and find that if I do not enable acpi in the config file, hvm guest will crash after "insmod xen-platform-pci.ko". However, if I enable acpi in the config file, "insmod xen-platform-pci.ko" and "insmod xenbus.ko" could pass, but "insmod xen-vnif.ko" or "insmod xen-vbd.ko" will

I saw the pci dev''s config is different from vbd/vnif with following comments: # Parsing the device SXP''s. In most cases, the SXP looks # like this: # # [device, [vif, [mac, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx], [ip 1.3.4.5]]] # # However, for PCI devices it looks like this: # # [device, [pci, [dev, [domain, 0], [bus, 0], [slot, 1]]]] # # It seems the reasoning for this difference is

Hi, I encountered a problem while porting Solaris as a guest OS on Xen. The problem I found is that when frontend vbd driver get unloaded, it will close the vbd interface by changing the state to XenbusStateClosed. This appears to cause the dom0 hotplug scripts to remove the vbd entry from xenstore for the domU guest, preventing the vbd from being re-attached. So, my questions are: + This

samuel, I have a try with HVM stubdomain on r17062, but failed to make on 32b platform. Attached patch can fix it, but don''t know if okay. After installation, I failed to start stubdom.
